Since it’s about plate tectonics this video is a literal crash course

I am a geologist and the joy people have learning about this gorgeous field of study makes me so happy. (and yes, we sometimes lick stones)

Oh man, a rare moment of pride to see part of my work mentioned in a CC vid. Feels great!^^ Before you ask, no, i´m not a geologist. I work as a technician for the Fraunhofer Institute IST in Germany, and we participated in the production of the Sentinel 1 series of Satellites commissioned and operated by ESA. Sure, it sounds like only a small thing, to have only been part of the production chain of a few parts (the CFRP Antennae), but Satellites are nothing if not the product of Teamwork. To know that my work helps provide data so that we may understand the world more and more accurately will always fill me with pride!

All my respect to Alfred Wegener, who got vindicated as one of the most revolutionary scientists of all time after decades of mockery by his colleagues, but didn't live enough to see it.

I find it fascinating to think that it isn't that many generations ago that we didn't know about this stuff. I'm genuinely interested to know what the scientific thought about earthquakes and volcanoes was before that. Also just to add that Alizé is one of the best presenters that Crash Course has had, and I hope we'll be seeing more of her when this series is over!

Loving this series! Would love a series dedicated to geology and the geologic history of the earth

i wish that instead of a 1 hr lecture at school they just had us watch this video and take notes

As someone taking geology right now in college, this video is so helpful! Very interesting too!

I loved the video, since one of my favorites subjects to investigate is the Marianas Trench and the Tectonic Plates, so this video has helped me to understand so much more!!!! So im gonna keep investigating more!!!

"The Plate Tectonics Revolution" sounds like a really fancy way to describe somebody spinning dinner plates as a trick.

As someone who is having a very hard time grasping the more scientific aspects of geography at university, I wanted to suggest the following: Please explain tectonics as we know it today first, then explain the research behind it, and how we learned what we do now. Knowing very little about geology, it was very difficult to follow along with the first portion of the video. I had to look a bunch of things up just to come back and restart it. I LOVE crashcourse, just a suggestion.

Fun Fact. That's the same Robert Edwin Dietz that made the Dietz Lantern company. Their lanterns are a staple in the third world, to this day.

3:19 Shrek, founding father of plate tectonics

My favorite CC so far!

Amazing the amount of knowledge and understanding in my life time alone yet the effect of understanding the forces of geology by such people as Darwin and Wallace seem to have had a huge impact on the collective knowledge of humankind. That copy of Principles of Geology seemed never to be to far away.

Being a Missourian, I wish she would have explained how faults like the New Madrid fault line exists. The heart of that area is nothing but flat sandy soil that used to be the bed of the Mississippi River.

"America, Britain abd Europe" - isn't Britain part of Europe - the continent? Great video

This was the best episode so far !! I'm really loving this series and looking forward to the next episode

I love 💘this videos, information with present and past , it's completely 👌 perfect 🥰. Good job. Thanks alize and thanks crash course.

Your earring are so nice to look at :)

Not a geologist, but wow 😳 this is very interesting.

Why is it that I see this as more fun learning that school they should make learning fun so it sticks in their minds

Good job getting the details (or deets, as kids today would say) to us.

I’ve been waiting for you (this episode)

That's something I always wondered but never got to search or learn. Thanks for the informative video. 👍

let me know if she says anything about j tuzo wilson xx

I think we got our Crash Course Geology in our Crash Course Geography

One of my favorite videos! :D

Thanks for this beautiful video

I love this video keep up the good work :)

I remember learning about this.

Informative..👍👍

I was waiting for your video

Why is the 'ring of fire' not contiuous along its abutting the antarctic plate?

Yay! New episode!

Very Informative

0:12 That is a beautiful country. ...I'm not biased. :-)

Too dope🔥

helpful

hi

Nice

It would’ve made more sense to horizontally flip the graphic of the convergent plate boundary, so that it reads better when looking at the map on the right.

She couldn't travel because she was a woman ... damn

Can we acknowledge for a second how punk of a name 'Drummond Matthews' is?

interesting

What's up with that one volcano seperated from the east of the Pacific rim?

Hell yeah

Wow

Nobody gives attention that she is standing all along!

👍👍👍👍👍

Incoming Triggered Geology guys with tHiS sHouLd be in gEoLOgy Comments. Lmao

Comment for the algorithm

Shouldn't this be under "Crash Course Geology"?

Can someone help me get 20 notes from this video

This is the foundation of knowledge ...not superstition

The earth expands lol

But the Earth is flat..... JK.
